Summary: [DOCUMENTATION] pix_mask documentation error

Initial Comment:
The help-patch for pix_mask contraddicts itself:
statement 1:
"Where ever the mask has a colored pixel, the alpha component of the other 
image will be set to 0 (transparent)."
statement 2:
"Basically, the luminance-value of the right pix will become the alpha-value of 
the left pix."

These sentences obviously contraddict each other.
According to statement 1, non-zero luminance would produce zero alpha, while 
according to statement 2 the opposite is true. Also, according to statement 1 
at most 2 values of alpha would be possible (zero and non-zero, presumably 1), 
while according to statement 2, intermediate values in the range 0..1 seem to 
be possible.

I think the correct one is (2).
